Why am I not losing weight on TRT even though I'm getting stronger?
The poster is frustrated that their scale weight isn't moving despite being on 100mg of testosterone per week and seeing strength gains in the gym.
It is very common to see the scale stall during the first few months of TRT because your body is simultaneously shedding fat, retaining more water, and building lean muscle mass. While 100mg weekly is a standard starting point, many men find they achieve better body composition results by optimizing their dose and frequency with a provider at HeydayMD. Focus on your waist circumference and strength gains rather than just the scale, as these are better indicators that the therapy is working. If progress remains stalled, we often help patients evaluate metabolic factors or consider combining TRT and GLP-1 medications for more significant weight loss.
